About Dog Friendly Finder
We're on a mission to help dog owners discover genuinely welcoming venues where both you and your furry friend can enjoy exceptional experiences.
Our Story
Dog Friendly Finder was born from a simple frustration: finding quality restaurants where our dogs were genuinely welcome, not just tolerated. We've all experienced the disappointment of arriving at a supposedly "dog friendly" venue, only to feel like our four-legged companion was an afterthought.
We set out to create something better - a comprehensive directory that doesn't just list dog friendly venues, but evaluates them holistically. Our unique Dog Friendliness Factor (DFF) Score considers not only dog amenities but also food & beverage quality, service, atmosphere, and value. Because let's face it: a water bowl doesn't make up for mediocre food or poor service.
Today, we've curated hundreds of dog friendly establishments across London, with plans to expand UK-wide and eventually to the US. Every venue is personally visited, evaluated, and verified to ensure you're getting accurate, trustworthy recommendations.
